In previous years, substantial research has focused on walkability, primarily examining how the built environment affects walking behavior. However, these studies have predominantly defined walkability through physical and social factors, with limited exploration of its spatial dimension. This article seeks to address this gap by examining the spatiality of walkability through Lefebvre’s spatial t
This study takes an in-depth look at sustainable procurement criteria used in the procurement of indirect services. A gap is identified in the literature analysis in the knowledge of sustainable procurement strategies and practice methods for the purchase of services and indirect spend categories. The author uses a case study method to investigate how sustainable procurement of indirect services i
This paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary study encompassing data collected from 108 in-depth interviews and 15 participatory workshops aimed at exploring the requirements of a diverse range of stakeholders in relation to assistive augmentative technologies. The study involved 39 poststroke patients with hand paresis, 39 individuals with spinal cord injuries affecting upper limb funcThis paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary study encompassing data collected from 108 in-depth interviews and 15 participatory workshops aimed at exploring the requirements of a diverse range of stakeholders in relation to assistive augmentative technologies.

AbstractThis study investigates the establishment and significance of United Nations (UN) Day, October 24, in Swedish primary and secondary schools from 1948 to 1963. This article conceptualizes the celebrations as knowledge rituals, educative events that foreground practices of knowledge-sharing, reinforcing social bonds and enhancing collective understanding. UN Day knowledge rituals combined ceThis study investigates the establishment and significance of United Nations (UN) Day, October 24, in Swedish primary and secondary schools from 1948 to 1963.This article conceptualizes the celebrations as knowledge rituals, educative events that foreground practices of knowledge-sharing, reinforcing social bonds and enhancing collective understanding.

This paper aims to enhance the understanding of the extent to which non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are able to shape the civil regulation of transnational corporations (TNCs), in addition to civil regulations’ potential to compensate for failed state-regulations. For this purpose, the paper examines the case of Shell’s civil regulation in Nigeria, where the oil-industry is effectively left
According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, 139 women were killed by their (ex-)partner in 2020. That year, Germany was ranked second highest in estimated number of femicide victims in Europe. As most extreme form of gender-based violence, femicide or feminicide designate the gender-specific killing of women, related to the maintenance of hierarchical gender relations. The topic is little dis
In recent decades, pressure on organizations of different types to be seen as diverse, inclusive, and welcoming workspaces has dramatically increased, leading to the rise of the ‘queer-friendly’ organization. Intending to signal themselves as safe and welcoming workspaces, these organizations turn to a variety of physical and non-physical queer-friendly signals, such as queer flags, equal-treatmen
The purpose of the present paper is to describe and discuss the concept of hunter mode, as introduced by Meidell (2022) in her autobiographical description of anorexia nervosa. Hunter mode is a sought-after state that is reached through self-starvation and that transforms a person’s experiences into a crystal-clearperception and a sense of vitality. Although partly touched upon already by Hilde BrThe purpose of the present paper is to describe and discuss the concept of hunter mode, as introduced by Meidell (2022) in her autobiographical description of anorexia nervosa.

Despite long‐standing interest in the evolutionary role of plant hormones, relatively few studies have used hormonally manipulated phenotypes to address questions about phenotypic evolution in plants. In the present investigation, I subjected plants of Crepis tectorum subsp. pumila to simple gibberellin (GA) treatments under both field and greenhouse conditions to assess developmental lability and
The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up. The Child-Friendly Cities initiative by UNICEF, an implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has made local governments strive toward child-friendliness. The participation of children and young people is often the focus of such projects, with a potential The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up.
